Living Images is a historical melodrama that takes us through the 20th century by telling the stories of two Estonians, Helmi and Julius. The film begins with their birth in the beginning of the century, in a house belonging to Baltic Germans, and ends in the end of the century in a newly deliberated Estonia on the backdrop of the arrival of neo-capitalist values. It is a unique and surreal depiction of difficult times in Estonia and in European history, involving a good dose of both humour and tragedy.
